Recipe for Crispy Strips

KFC Crispy Strips:

6 chicken breasts

One egg, beaten

One cup milk

Two cups all-purpose flour

2 1/2 teaspoons salt

3/4 teaspoon pepper

3/4 teaspoon MSG

1/8 teaspoon Paprika

1/8 teaspoon Garlic Powder

1/8 teaspoon Baking Powder

Method:

Using a sharp knife, cut 6 chicken breasts into strips, or you can buy chicken tenders at the supermarket; there are ready ones available such as chicken fillet. The chicken strips should not be too thin or too thick.

Marinate the strips overnight with garlic, pepper, paprika and salt.

Preheat the shortening in deep fry to 350deg or preheat vegetable oil in deep fry to 175 deg. It takes a lot of oil to deep-fry, and it's best to start with fresh oil every time.

In meantime, beat one egg and one cup of milk.

Dip the chicken into the egg mixture and coat the chicken delicately into baking powder.

Once the oil has reached the desired temperature, fry in fryer a few at a time (or try one first to test the heat) till they are golden brown. It should be around 5 minutes. Be careful not to crowd the oil with too much strips: crowding will cause the oil's temperature to drop dramatically, which will result in a greasy product. Crowding will also increase the likelihood that the fried bits and pieces will stick to each other.

Once the chicken strips are golden brown, use a slotted metal spoon or spatula to remove the cooked chicken and let them drain on paper towels or cooling racks.
